Kevin Gullickson, COO & CMO, Barton Publishing & Nutrition

Jeremy is the man you call when you need something done right.

Jeremy is a true servant-leader. He can read a room quickly, coordinate a plan to optimize the efficiency of your team and jump into the hard problems that paralyze most individuals. He’s an operational powerhouse.
We were truly fortunate to have him on the team. His people skills are incredible. The entire organization absolutely loved him but more importantly, he was able to communicate with anyone and get the very best performance. When there was a difficult message to deliver, Jeremy’s empathetic nature was monumental to execute on the necessary performance improvement plans.

His capacity to insert himself in every department and improve the a) people. B) process and c) technology was a critical component to our success. He would maneuver seamlessly between Customer Service, Sales, Finance, Technology, Creative and our executive leadership team.

Jeff Radich, Co-Founder, Metabolic Living 

For any CEOs of growing companies, the #1 challenge is dealing with the chaos and complexity that can come with that growth. If you’re not careful, it can swallow you up. Having someone like Jeremy who could jump into the fray, navigate around landmines, defuse grenades and slay the operational dragons that continually came up during growth was invaluable.

At different points in time, Jeremy led many of our different teams, including tech, HR, customer service and finance. If there was a problem that required strong leadership and the ability to work through difficult, complex issues, Jeremy was always happy to take that on and always delivered. I’d highly recommend him as Chief of Staff or COO to any CEO who is looking for a right hand person they can trust to deliver. He’s committed, he cares and will never let you down.

Marc Stockman, Co-Founder, Metabolic Living

Whether you’re in a moment of crisis or a season of optimization—Jeremy is the guy you want on your team. In his time at Metabolic, challenges were constantly being thrown his way and his response was always a calm, collected, “Leave it with me.”

He never gets frazzled or overwhelmed. Jeremy is the calm in the storm making sense of the chaos and confidently leading the team toward solutions and progress. He’s results orientated. He can see each step that will move the team forward, and he’s an expert at holding everyone accountable until they reach the desired outcome.

It was my pleasure to work side-by-side with Jeremy for the last couple of years, and I know any organization would benefit from having him on their team.

Kaylyn Cooke, Director of Operations Metabolic Living

When I think about a magnanimous leader who embodies kindness, empathy, honesty, integrity and wisdom, I see Jeremy! It was a valuable learning experience to witness Jeremy's direct, no-nonsense and very practical approach in accomplishing results, time and time again. His ability to quickly assess a situation and willingness to roll up his sleeves makes him a "Get It Done" type of guy!

Always started every videoconference with an enthusiastic smile of welcome which instantly put everyone at ease. Of all his traits, most enviable, is his ability to remain calm, cool, and collected - even when the "house was on fire." He would say (with a smile), "OK, so how are we going to solve this problem?"

He's more than adept in managing vendors and is quite accomplished in negotiations and cost savings. Before I joined, he optimized staffing and processes, saving $66K monthly; with anticipated annual savings of $792K. Working with him, we identified an additional $160K in annual operations savings leveraging capacity planning, automations in technology, and strategic workflows.

If you're looking for a consistent, results-driven, charismatic leader who consistently exceeds the goal, I highly recommend Jeremy.
